About

This page is also known as “Why dey make dat?” You know why I make dis. I make this to keep my family, friends and followers abreast of my musings, wanderings and learnings while in southern Sweden. Let me spruce this up a bit for you. I‘m working toward have earned a master’s in Visual Culture at Lund University. Before you ask, let me copy and paste.

“This master’s programme aims to strengthen the student’s theoretical knowledge and understanding of the vital importance of images – or, the visual – for communication in society. Visuality is studied from a critical and intermedial perspective, which includes elements of sound or music, and where aspects like power, history, social relations, gender, and ethnicity are central. Furthermore, the aim is to analyze the role of visual communication – in artistic as well as mass medial forms – when it comes to shaping the major issues of life.”

Nice. Now you know. I’m from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, which is to say I’m pretty damn far from alligators and Zatarain’s (combined or separate). Enjoy.
